Trudy, this is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your experience here! It’s funny how we can all be moving through similar processes on this journey at one time, isn’t it?

I’m sending you love and strength on your journey at this time as I know, first hand, that detachment is not an easy feat. It’s difficult to maintain AND difficult to find comfort in. But it can be empowering and at times, freeing.

Something you said here really struck me, which is that you have felt his pain but held space and had compassion for him. I feel, personally, that I have processed out so many of my twin’s emotions that a big part of detachment for me has been to put up energetic boundaries around myself so that I’m not taking on the burden of his emotional healing.

It’s only recently that I’ve questioned if I’ve gone too far putting up those boundaries, but only time will tell.

As it is, I honor you in your process. And I hope that you stick around to share more of your story with me and my community here. ❤️thank you for reading and for this wonderful share.
